L'azienda austriaca Noctua ha annunciato, mediante il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, la realizzazione del dissipatore per chip-set siglato NC-U6 (cfr. foto seguente).
Il dissipatore, che può essere abbinato sia alle motherboard in architettura Intel che a quelle in architettura AMD, include 29 lamine di alluminio attraversate da quattro condotti in rame (Dual-Heatpipe) ed è in grado di assicurare un efficiente smaltimento del calore anche in assenza di una ventola ausiliaria.
Il prezzo di NC-U6 - suggerito dal produttore - è pari a €24.99.

Vienna, November 20th 2006 - With the NC-U6, Noctua presents a premium
class chipset-cooler designed to efficiently solve heat issues of
current mainboard chipsets. The NC-U6 implements a miniature-version of
the well proven design of Noctua's award winning NH-U coolers. Sporting
2 Dual-Heatpipes, 29 aluminium fins and soldered joints for optimal
heat-transfer, the NC-U6 is the ultimate solution when it comes to
silently cooling today's high-end chipsets.
"The increasing heat production of today's chipsets also increases the
demand on the cooling solutions", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua
CEO, "the NC-U6 is the first chipset cooler that employs 2
Dual-Heatpipes, enabling it to reliably cool even overclocked chips
without the need of an additional fan."
The NC-U6 is shipped with mounting systems for Intel and AMD mainboards,
using the existing fastening hooks or push-pin mounting holes. In order
to achieve maximum compatibility with mainboards, VGA cards and CPU
coolers, the NC-U6 can be turned by up to 120°.
"The different positioning of the chipset on different mainboards is a
major problem", says Mag. Roland Mossig, "by designing the mounting
mechanism of the NC-U6 so that it can be turned, we could evade a lot of
compatibility issues."
Prices and availability
The NC-U6 is available with immediate effect at a price if EUR 24,90 /
USD 27,90 via Noctua's official distribution partners.
